Frequently Asked Questions
What purchase costs should I budget for beyond the asking price?
As a new build in Andalucía, this purchase carries IVA (VAT) at 10% of the purchase price plus AJD stamp duty at 1.2% of the purchase price. ITP does not apply. Additional costs include notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal representation at around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the autonomous region of Andalucía's conditions — for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence — and it is worth checking this before you finalise your budget.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can generally obtain a mortgage in Spain, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates for Spanish mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on the lender and product. We recommend consulting a Spanish mortgage broker early in the process.
What are the ongoing running costs for this apartment?
Community fees are currently nil. IBI (annual council tax) has not yet been assessed as this is a new-build property and will be set by the local authority following completion. Rubbish collection charges have also not yet been confirmed. We will update these figures as they become available.
How can I arrange a viewing?
Viewings can be arranged in person at a time that suits you. If you are based outside Spain or prefer a preliminary look before travelling, we can organise a live video viewing with one of our agents on the ground in El Higuerón. Contact us to confirm your preferred format and availability.
Is this apartment suitable as a rental investment?
El Higuerón and the wider Fuengirola area see consistent demand from short-term holiday visitors as well as longer-term tenants, given the proximity to the coast, the motorway network, and Málaga Airport at 20 minutes. A tourist rental licence will be required for short lets in Andalucía. We recommend speaking to a local property manager to get an accurate picture of current rental activity in this development before committing.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which your solicitor can obtain on your behalf. Once you have agreed to proceed, a reservation fee is typically paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a formal private purchase contract (arras), under which a further deposit — commonly 10% of the purchase price — is paid. The transaction then completes before a Spanish notary, at which point the balance is transferred and keys are handed over. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor throughout.
